Victorian Brew, Ceylon BOP1

Tea Review

Rating:

Upton TC64. 2.2 grams steeped for 5 minutes at 212℉. Impression: Dark OP-sized pieces, see photo. Dry tea smells sweet, strong floral notes with hints of spice. Brewed tea has scents of herbs, grass, a trace of citrus. Taste: flat, brackish, woody and tobacco notes, little body, not sweet. Pleasant, fruity finish. Moderately astringent.

Another rather harsh Ceylon. The pleasant aftertaste is the only thing interesting in this tea.

About John

I have been writing fiction for as long as I can remember. I was first published in college, but wrote only intermittently for the next several decades, during which I started and ran a small business, entered medical school, and practiced as an academic emergency physician for almost three decades. I took up writing fiction more seriously around 2002, and since then have published short fiction in Asimov’s, The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Strange Horizons, Interzone, Lady Churchill’s Rosebud Wristlet, and other venues. One of my stories, “Fourteen Experiments in Postal Delivery,” has been reprinted in The Year’s Best Fantasy and Horror, Twentieth Annual Collection. My first novel, Half-Witch, was published by Small Beer Press in July, 2018.
